Polygon UR's Team Launch Video is the Best Kind of Ridiculous

Mar 18, 2018 at 12:23
by UR Team  

We wanted to create something different and asked all of our riders for their takes on what our team presentation should be. After all, we are here pursuing our dreams and we are sure a little bit of fun and craziness is part of the equation! I hope you will enjoy it as much as it was for us filming this.

On the riders side for 2018, we're stoked to continue with our same and favorite riders!

We still have a couple of big goals on our calendar and that for sure make it a super exciting season for everyone!

All our riders will only be able to race at the top level thanks to our amazing hard working staff!

Update on Tracey Hannah: at the Crankworx Redwoods DH yesterday, Tracey went over the bars. After a check with a doctor, she was advise not to compete after a concussion and to stay off the bike for a week. Tracey will take the rest she needs and we will hopefully see her back in Croatia! The boys will represent for her at Crankworx.

Let's get this season started!

 KMC chain on an E13 cassette? The rep from E13 said ( for warranty purposes) they only recommend Shitmano & Scram chains on their cassettes...... bs! lol

 1) KMC makes Shimano chains
2) Teams don't do warranty claims. They can kill stuff on the daily & sponsors just ship new sh*t.
